Shoutout to all the presidents who can still bank with Capital One and never hid in a catering truck.

JFC. Between cheeto face falling asleep, RFK Jr. shaking like a leaf like he's going through withdrawal, and some flight attendant wannabee holding her stomach twisting around like a loon, this is the most Hee Haw administration ever.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

For Joe Biden, with gratitude, hope, and more love than words can hold.

A trillion-dollar military running short of missiles after six months tells you what the system actually produces: not strategic endurance, but corporate profit. The Pentagon is less a war economy than a machine for transferring public wealth to private capital.

If I was part of the White House Press Corp and just got used as live bait for an Iranian attack I might start covering how the president is shitting himself in public. Like have some self respect.

Confident men in happy marriages do this because being perceived as gay isn’t something they’re scared of

[Karly Kingsley @karlykingsley]

Your doctors went through 10+ years of medical school. Trump and RFKjr went through illicit drugs and their family’s money. Vaccines are safe. Stop listening to the anti-science crowd.

[MM  @adgirlMM]

If they carted this president away in a catering truck and were willing to let reporters be a target on a decoy plane without saying a word about it, imagine the terror threat the US is facing right now and this shit administration wouldn't warn the public.

What in the cyborg MAGA fembot shit is going on here?

[Ronni🧂Salt-WhoWroteGunnawahYeahThatOne @RonniSalt]

What in the sweet, ever loving name of Saturday Night Live is going on in this shit-show?

A Bratz doll on animatronic mode, a grandpa past his medication hour, a shaking adderall addict and a female prison warden in a room that looks like a Copper Art store vomited up inside it

[😱 Scary Larry 😱 🇺🇦✊🏻🇺🇸🗽 @aintscarylarry]

14 year heroin addict who sounds like he’s gargling ground glass & has a serious case of the shakes spews lies about vaccines as the president sleeps & shits himself while the NodBot (no one knows who or what the fuck she is) nods & sways. Fucking surreal.

[Eyes Wide Open 🧢 @VaTechPhiDelt]

Lmao! Byron Donalds did not just say this.
Listen to the audience reaction. 😄😄 https://t.co/gJsmk29Exy

[Shaun Pinner @ShaunPinnerUA]

Why this isn’t getting more coverage is frankly baffling.

If Ukraine loses this war, North Korean troops and missile units could be bordering NATO. Ukrainian battlefield innovation could become Russian, while fighting-age Ukrainians under occupation face coercion into Russia’s war machine.

And nobody politically is saying a word?

[Sav Shawz @shawzsav]

abortion isnt about babies, its about controlling women. Being antivax isn’t about protecting kids, its about sowing distrust in science and medicine, and making money off people being sick. & deporting immigrants isnt truly about immigration, its about making a whiter country

[Patrick Skinner @SkinnerPm]

When you refer a whole people as if they were one person, you are wrong in every way. Our president is a racist. If you support him saying this, ask yourself some hard questions because those answers are who you are.

This man on the left is Jacobo Árbenz. On the right is Abdul El-Sayed. El-Sayed has gotten me to thinking about Árbenz. Here's why.

Árbenz is the former President of Guatemala from 1951 to 1954.

At the time, Guatemala was one of the poorest countries in the world. The average wages were around $20 per year.

By comparison, the impoverished African American community in America was making 40-times as much. And this was the precursor to the war on poverty.

One company, the United Fruit Company (now known as Chiquita), dominated the entire Guatemalan economy. It owned most of the railroads, roads, telegraph equipment, and so on.

The UFC was actually worth more money (about $500 million--or $7 billion in today's standard--than the entire Guatemalan GDP.

So it's not like they couldn't afford to pay their workers more. They jsut chose not to. Where else were workers going to go?

So Arbanz decided to do something about it. A good chunk of Guatemala's land was owned by the UFC, but not farmed. It was just sitting there.

Apart from that, the UFC claimed it was worth a lot less than it actually was.

Arbanz's plan was simple. Buy the land for what the UFC said it was worth, and then provide loans to citizens at a reasonable rate so they could have their own farms and reduce poverty.

Well now. This wasn't sitting too well with UFC. So they went and talked to their good buddies John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles, who ran U.S. foreign policy during the 1950s. President Dwight Eisenhower appointed John Foster as Secretary of State and Allen as Director of the CIA.

Now, they both had strong financial ties to the UFC, but exactly how much is in dispute. But they definitely were connected.

John Foster Dulles, Eisenhower's Secretary of State, had been a senior partner at the powerful law firm Sullivan & Cromwell.

United Fruit was a client of Sullivan & Cromwell, and the firm performed legal work for UFC. John Foster Dulles personally worked on matters involving the company, including agreements connected to its operations in Guatemala.

His brother Allen Dulles, Eisenhower's CIA director during the 1954 coup, had also been a partner at Sullivan & Cromwell.

He therefore came from the same law firm as his brother with the United Fruit relationship. There are some reports that he was on the UFC board, but I can't verify that.

It went the other way too, with a former President of the UFC, Thomas Corcoran, and his relative, John Moors Cabot, connected to the Eisenhower Administration.
So, to put it mildly, there was certainly more than a little bit of conflict of interest.

So when Árbenz got elected, the Dulles brothers got to couping. Literally.

They claimed Árbenz was a Communist. He wasn't.
He was just a danger to unfettered and unregulated capitalism.

The United States, through the Dulles brothers, sponsored a coup that ended with Arbanz dead and Carlos Castillo Armas in charge. Armas was a despot who ruled until he got assassinated three years later.

And by then, Guatemala's democracy was destroyed, and they descended into a 36-year civil war that has more than a little to do with why we still have people from Guatemala requesting asylum.

So the moral of the story is that when rich white uber-wealthy Americans start screaming that a brown person is a communist because he is challenging unfettered Capitalism.

Pay attention.

Things might not be what they say they are.

@PressSec @SecKennedy This pedo protecting mouthpiece is lying.
American children do not receive anywhere near 72 injections, and there is no European standard for immunization.

Why would ANYONE trust this liars with their kids health?!??
